Whoops! Joe Scarborough Caught Eating In Opening Of "Race For The White House"

You can take him out of his trademark pullover and dress him up in a shirt and tie, but you can't take the casual morning feel out of "Morning Joe" host Joe Scarborough. In the opening segment of the premiere of "Race for the White House" — David Gregory's new show and the canceled Tucker Carlson's replacement in the 6 p.m. time slot — Joe tried to sneak a bite while Rachel Maddow spoke — and he got caught.

It was a Starbucks Espresso Brownie, Joe tells HuffPost, and says, "Now I eat during commercials."

Listen to the rustling of the packaging during the first ten seconds below, and check out Joe's face when he realizes he's been caught:

Cookie? Donut?

Are you sure Joe is eating?(Looks more like he's talking a dip of snuff....)! :)

[timothyi]

Wow, he eats....big whoop.

On the other hand, Rachel Maddow is the most underrated analyst out there. She should have her own show on MSNBC.

[jade7243]

Re: Rachel Maddow -- Rhodes Scholar -- I agree. Very smart!

[PaleMail]

Rachel Maddow is indeed a first-rate analyst. Why MSNBC management allots so much time to Scarborough and his right-wing drivel is beyond me. Send him off to Fox.

[godlessclif]

Rachel would have her own show if she weren't gay.
I agree she is the most talented analyst.

America is not ready for an Ellen Degeneris doing the news.

[oracle99]

Why not? She is great!

[enoughalready]

I love Rachael Maddow! I wish there were a way that her Air America radio show could be broadcast on MSNBC. She's intelligent without all the gook Scarborough brings to the airways. There's an idea - bring intelligent reporting to the airways!!!!

[degjack]

This is super duper funny!!!

[PioneerKing]

Yo, Deliverance Boy back away from the brownie tray, you're starting to look like a blimp.

[timran]

this is a definite step up from Tucker.

[oracle99]

I agree. Tucker acts as if there has been somthing stuck up his a... for some time. A preppie ultra conservative UGH!

[cheneyhasawarmachine]

will he repudiate and reject his attempt to eaton national tv? he better do both.

[venicesurfer]

i like joe. he is my favorite republican aside from hagel.

but it would've been funnier if they had cut to him and asked him a question.

very professional. didnt even chew.

by the way, is there someone that just gets paid to just watch out for shit like this on tv?

[1000Steps]

Joe is the best! At least he throws you Democrats a bone once in a while when you are right.

[Canuknotusa]

Joe Scarborough eats?

[Cathexis]

Joe Scarborough bites.

[Wildcatdiva]

Why does he, Matthews, Tucker, or Buchanan taking so seriously commenting on the Democratic race?

[the964kid]

'Why does he, Matthews, Tucker, or Buchanan taking so seriously commenting on the Democratic race?'
its called ratings! But they're reporting on anything - and this 'race for the white house' show looks like it's gonna be a new low of nit-picky details - we need this whole primary season to be over before they start creating their own stories!!

[graffen48]

Ugh!! MSNBC's "new" show is just a shuffling of all their talking heads into a different format. It would be nice to see some new people in there.

[truthyguy]

The thing that is surprising is Scarborough had his foot out of his mouth long enough to eat anything.

[racetoinfinity]

lol

[Jacksonian]

This should be "The Rachel Maddow Show." As the white-male power structure gave it to Gregory, another net should grab Rachel.

[coonce]

I do think David will need to have different opinions, rather than the same people thru out the show.

[TheJibreelaMonsters]

I would eat too, hearing Rachel Maddow speak is boring... very boring

[in4success]

TALK ABOUT A NON-STORY!

there's plenty to nail scarborough on besides the britney-esque fluff...

we're DOOMED!!!

[iPolitics]

A lot of people snack their way in and out of depression. Scarborough is hurt by the rejection of his incompetent party and ideology.
